1940 DX paint- bottom line ?

[Lux Low]

I restore as Found. The DX is one of my favorite bikes but is also Schwinns Mutt. You will find a lot a variables as Schwinn used leftover parts for the bikes. I have seen Very early Postwar Bikes Completely Adorned with prewar parts and drop centers, But had new post frame and sprag kickstand. Dx also carried the Skiptooth chain longer than any other bike, using leftovers back then but coveted more now. By the way the spears, fireballs, and other designs usually was a depicted to what retailer was selling the bike, BF Goodrich, EX Speed, Schwinn, Excelsior etc.. The retailers choice, pain dart may of been $.01 cheaper for Our Own Hardware.
